Scientists are focusing on a biotechnology that can endow concrete with the ability to self repair cracks

According to British media reports on April 2nd, small cracks in concrete can almost self repair because bacteria can generate minerals inside the cracks.

Wide and diagonal cracks can reduce water leakage by up to 80%.

These findings suggest that the shape of concrete cracks plays a crucial role in the self-healing process, transforming a promising idea into a system that engineers can predict and utilize.

Special mix proportion of concrete for nuclear power, adapted to the core requirements of nuclear power engineering

When it comes to nuclear power engineering, the public often focuses on core equipment such as reactors and containment vessels, but easily overlooks the “cornerstone” that supports the entire nuclear island – “nuclear specific concrete”.

It is not a simple upgrade of ordinary building concrete, but a special engineering material that has undergone rigorous design, precise proportioning, and full quality control.

It must withstand extreme working conditions, resist radiation erosion, and ensure the safety of nuclear power plants for more than 60 years of service.

Each set of proportioning parameters and each type of raw material selection are closely related to the core safety requirements of nuclear power engineering.

Is the total compressive strength of concrete unqualified? You may have never paid attention to these 7 details | Micro engineering Road

Place the concrete specimen onto the press, press a button, wait for it to crush, and take a reading – this is the complete understanding of strength testing by many people.

If it’s that simple, why can the data of the same specimen differ by several megapascals when pressed by different people?.

How to prefabricate and maintain concrete box culverts?

As an underground/semi underground municipal and building supporting structure, box culvert has the characteristics of large cross-sectional size, closed (or semi closed) structure, high concrete consumption, and complex exposed surface (inner wall+outer wall+top plate+bottom plate).

The core focus of maintenance is to control temperature difference, continuously moisturize, and balance internal and external synchronous maintenance, to prevent surface cracks and through cracks caused by insufficient humidity and large temperature difference, and to ensure that the concrete strength meets the standard and durability meets the design requirements.

Why does the ‘pot’ with low concrete strength always have to be carried by the mixing plant!!!

With the rapid development of commercial concrete, there is an increasing phenomenon of both supply and demand sides arguing over the low strength of structural concrete.

As the commercial concrete industry belongs to the buyer’s market, in order to timely recover payment and continue to cooperate with the demand side, most enterprises have to make concessions and passively bear some economic responsibilities.
